CHELLEY WEEK D7: Thank you

Almost in a dream, she stepped outside. In a gleam of light, she was awoken; everything came rushing to her. The wind, the sun, the sky, the fields, but also... him. This should’ve been her moment but, well, she couldn’t stop imagining if… if he was here with her. He would’ve loved the clouds, winced at the sun, been mildly confused about the wheat… He should’ve been here with her. She'd like to say she was happy moving forward, that she didn’t look back. She kept thinking that maybe he’d somehow fall from nowhere, dazed but safe, and she'd run over, embracing him and never letting go. He would’ve told her that waiting was silly, but he wasn’t there to do so. She have no shame in saying she cried, except when she remembered he hated to see her do it.

After a couple hours, she found that she felt better. She realised he was still with her, in a way, she thought. The electric blue sky, the pale yellow fields, the fact that she was standing there; he’d helped her to get here. She lifted her head up, letting the sun illuminate her face, the same way his blue light had lit up hers when they'd first met.

"Thank you."

We're at "disappear our political opponents" levels of fascism now

Zohran needs round the clock protection, I fear for this man's life and wellbeing.

My hot take is that katara and zuko are both more Buddhist functionally than Aang is. argue with the wall

[clear-elphaba94]

now, i haven’t had twitter for a hot minute now, but I’m remembering a thread me and oomf had about why the “theoretically, zuko would have taken lightening for anyone” claims are irrelevant, and wanted to just put it up here. this argument kind of treats katara as some interchangeable placeholder for “zuko’s redemption” and undermines how the nature of zuko’s sacrifice impacts katara directly and heavily. i don’t think zuko sacrificing himself for her is supposed to signal, yes, he is fully redeemed now. I think it’s actually supposed to show how he cares very deeply about katara. I mean, sure, zuko would taken that hit for other members of the gang, but the narrative significance wouldn’t weigh as heavily as it does with katara. even the 1st pov shots of them reaching out for each other, the music, the soft looks wouldn’t really make sense for other characters, either.

katara had to watch her mother die in arguably the worst way possible, and a part of her trauma is the fact that she ran away, helpless, and was too late to save kya. kya died protecting katara, and that’s something she has to live with. now we get the finale where zuko—another person possibly going to die for prioritizing her safety over his own, who knows what happened to kya, who was with her when she confronted the man who killed kya—but this time, katara is not only able to stop the present threat, but she’s also able to save zuko’s life. imagine if zuko had died here? what would that mean for katara? it makes me so upset because the nature of kya and zuko’s sacrifice are very similar, but this is something they just never talk about again despite it being so pivotal to both their arcs.

this is all to say that people saying that scene doesn’t matter because zuko would have done it for anyone do not see the importance of katara as a character (and her very unique dynamic with zuko). i think it’s a bad faith argument to make. the question isn’t whether zuko would have done it for anyone else (he would have), the question should be, would that scene look and feel the way it did if you had swapped katara for another character. my short answer is, no. and that’s the point.

The way Zuko helped Katara find her mother's killer not only made her willing to forgive him, but also gave her closure to the trauma she'd carried since childhood.

That's what Katara needed more than being reminded that she's still just a kid, then being forced to be a mother figure and understand others better than herself throughout the series.
